None of the smooth concrete walls in this tunnel. Bare rock with water streaming down the sides. I likened the trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound like finding Shangri-La. The leaving of the fertile green valley, passing the DO NOT STOP - AVALANCHES signs along the way, the climb up to the Homer Tunnel, with towering mountains either side, the drive through the tunnel and coming out on the other side with an awe inspiring vista of Milford Sound below. The zigzag road down to the bottom, and best of all, smugly knowing that YOU are the only one on the bus with the insect repellant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-53824129143771225492007-10-19T19:20:00.000+10:002007-10-19T19:20:00.000+10:002007-10-19T19:20:00.000+10:00Thanks Jude J, I'll do that. I was down that way many years ago and have vague memories of travelling through the Homer Tunnel.

That way you can enjoy the spectacular scenery without running off the road. When you get to the scary bits you can also close your eyes. Don't forget to take the insect repellant and put it on before you leave the bus.
